    How to handle a uniform coating over a complex object

    Bruce, My advice is available when using classical ANSYS (not Workbench). I have no idea if is applicable in Workbench. Maybe other members of forum could help. Kind regards, Juzz

    Ansys 12 Plasticity

    Hi, Krs2ball! First, the input you put there is only for geometry (I presume, seems a transfer from Parasolid). Anyway, I need to have the mesh and the boundary and loading conditions because the solver use these information and not the geometry. When I asked for an input file I meant a file...

    How to handle a uniform coating over a complex object

    Hello, Bruce! You could the followings: 1. Select areas where coating exists. I assume those areas are exterior areas of some volumes already meshed. 2. Use SHELL131 or SHELL132 (depending of the type of element used for solid modelling). These elements allow for through thickness...

    Ansys 12 Plasticity

    Hello, krs2ball! Can you send (put on eng-tips) the input file for plasticity problem? I will try to help you but I can do this only after I see the input file. Kind regards, juzz

    Analysis IASC-ASCE Benchmark Structure in ANSYS Classic

    Hi, Rupika! Please, pay attention that BEAM188 element is a Timoshenko beam, i.e. not a Euler-Bernoulli beam (use BEAM4 or BEAM44 instead). I strongly recommend to read from Ansys help the full description of element type before using it (criteria for using such element and estimation of errors...

    Defining a custom contour equation

    Hello, mtbmx88! Please find in ANSYS help description of the following commands: DNSOL, DESOL, DETAB that allow you to redefine (modify) the nodal and element results. Use this commands in an input that allow you to replace existing results with results obtained by your equation. Contour...

    Units ?

    Hi, Quotenkrueppel! If you use /UNITS command (access Help to see description of command) Ansys will use a predefined system of units. Otherwise, you should assure consistency over your analysis (analyses if couple-field analysis performed - I assume that you used ansys in connection with a...

    time history analysis of water tank

    Hi, Drej! Could you please detail a little bit your word of warning? I mean why is ACEL not suitable to use (as applied acceleration at the base of the tank)? It is not the tank under the effect of inertial loading? Thanxs! Juzz

    How to get displacement with frequency from harmonic analysis

    Hello, Rupika! First you have to know that you could arrange your data in Excel directly: 1. First select column where the data is located and use the Excel command "Text to columns" from "Data" menu, setting delimiter to space only and checking that consecutive delimiters to be treated as one...

    time history analysis of water tank

    Hi SAGG, 1. Block all nodes at bottom of tank (shell only)and try to use ACEL command instead of prescribing acceleration of nodes. This will apply linear acceleration to entire structure along directions of Global Cartesian System axes. 2. Be aware that doing seismic analysis of vertical tanks...

    VME2 for ANSYS/LS-Dyna

    Hello! I have run VME2 from Verification Manual and the results are different from what is written in the manual. I have a maximum deflection of 0.240 instead of 0.226 and of course the checked results ratio is also different. Anyone knows what happened? Also, if there are other usefull...

    3D Fluid-Thermal analysis

    Hello, mahesh! Take a look to the Chapter 2 (Sequential couple-field analysis) of the Couple Field Guide from your help. There you will have a list for the element types that you could use in a multiphysiscs in order to simulate couple-field problems. I think that you need to use SOLID70 with...

    Rigid body

    Hello, harid! I try to complete my advice. Follow this advice and you could define pilot nodes it means nodes that control the behaviour of DOF's of the entire rigid body. You could impose in these pilot nodes displacements what you need and you will have good result. Once again you need only...

    Hard Points

    Hello, mikel526! I have no problem at all in creating hardpoints. But I don't know what you intend to say "more than a few points...". And of course I think that it is very important how these HP's are distributed over the area. I tried a little example with a rectangular area and I...

    BCs on a pressure cylinder

    Hello, pmetelos! If your question is how to apply internal pressure, the answer is simple: 1) Select nodes at internal radius (selecting surfaces and nodes attached to or in a a cylindrical system of axis selecting the nodes by location on radius) 2) Apply pressure on these nodes. That's...

    Rigid body

    Hello, Harid! If you have a contact problem (as I understood) you must have only the contact area defined and with the help of contact wizard you will define a rigid-flexible contact selecting for the rigid part the contact area. I think this is the suitable way for your problem. Best regards...

    How to get the nodal stress results

    Hello, Lucy1995! What element types do you use? It is possible if your model contains 3D beams to be necessary to display elements based on real constant descriptions in order to see any kind of stresses. A good verification is to list nodal stresses and see what values do you get...

    Is it a BUG in ANSYS

    Hello, guys! Do you think that ANSYS would put something strange in the verification cases? Let's see the problem analytical. From Elasticity Theory we knew that where we have pressure boundary conditions the stress will be equal with pressure. So the maximum stresses (wich will be at the...

    Selecting and grouping entities by attributes

    Hi, Triplane! It is simple. You already did a selection so I understood that you know how to make appears the Select window. In this window you have an option Select by NumPick and always this window (the Select window) contains the type of selection (that means a group of radio buttons that...

    Harmonic Solution Results in Results Viewer

    Hi, Jonathan! The displacement state that you obtain in /POST1 is the response of structure at an harmonic load with that frequency. Generaly, dynamic behaviour of a structure could be expressed in time domain or in frequency domain. There is a relationship between the two domains via the...
